SharePoint – Create a link to export to Excel

Posted on November 13, 2013

For one of our customers I had to create dashboard with a few shortcuts to SharePoint actions. One of these actions is an export of a central SharePoint list to Excel. I thought it would be easier to add a link at the dashboard. Otherwise the end-users have to open the list and click two times in the ribbon. One click is always better than three 😉

This is the end result:

Pretty simple and straightforward but it doesn’t always have to look fancy 😉 So how does this work?
